Affinities: On Art and Fascination

Brian Dillon (USA)

In this collection of essays, Brian Dillon arrives in critical spaces through personal avenues. His writing about his relationship with his aunt — a woman who became a shut-in, photographing the perimeter of her yard, growing a body of work, developing a style — opens up into a theory about careful looking as an outgrowth of anxiety. In a series of belles lettres on the artists to whom he’s drawn — many of them photographers, including Francesca Woodman, Claude Cahun, and his aforementioned aunt, some of them using the medium to explore gender fluidity, others the natural world — Dillon develops an argument on the meaning of “affinity.” It’s not always rational, which works we most identify with; it’s both simpler and more magical.

“… me la imaginaba como una escultura adornando algún lugar del patio y lo que encontré fue una sombra negra, flaca, reseca.

Yo no lloré.

Estaba sacando agua de la bomba. Cuando me dijo buen día. Del hueco oscuro de la boca no se le escapó ningún destello de oro. La boca de la Chusca era una tumba profanada.
—Cuando las chicas me entraron a caer con nietos. Tuve que ir vendiendo los dientes para poder alimentarlos —me dijo cuando entramos en confianza.
No lloré. Había tanta miseria en esa casa que llorar por un muerto hubiera sido un sacrilegio. La Chusca armaba cigarrillos de palitos y hojas picadas, y las manos le temblaban como pajaritos con frío”

Miss Ex-Yugoslavia

Sofija Stefanovic (Serbian/Australian author)

If you’re going to have the audacity to document a beauty contest. That pits immigrants and refugees from different sides of a conflict against each other for your film class. It seems only fair to compete yourself. That’s exactly what led Serbian-born Stefanovic to strut. Her stuff alongside her fellow contestants from Bosnia. Croatia. Macedonia. Montenegro, and Slovenia for the title of Miss Ex-Yugoslavia.This stand-out memoir chronicles Stefanovic’s life from her childhood to early twenties. Coming back and forth between Yugoslavia and Australia during the Yugoslav wars. The contrast between the Belgrade streets (where she once encountered a tiger cub being walked on a leash). To the ant hill-pocked back yard in Whyalla. South Australia (a remote town known for its BHP steel factory) ensures that Stefanovic’s story is as unique and wacky as it is important.

Walker’s raw confessional novel, aptly compared toJesus’ .Son and Reservoir Dogs, is a devastating example of art imitating life.

Autismi

Giacomo Sartori (Italian Author)

Incipit: «Il mio lavoro consiste nel fare buche nella terra. Buche grandi e profonde. In cui ci entra comodamente una persona. Poi appunto ci entro dentro.
Mi ci seppellisco, si potrebbe dire. Però a differenza di un vero seppellimento nessuno poi aggiunge altra terra tra me e lo scavo. Contrariamente a un vero funerale posso muovere le braccia. Posso respirare come voglio. Venire fuori quando ho finito. Guardare un rettangolo di cielo. Parlare. Posso urlare la mia gioia. Ammesso e non concesso che abbia della gioia in sopravanzo. Quando ho finito esco, e torno a casa mia.
E poi comunque a differenza dei morti veri e propri non mi sdraio. Sto in piedi.»

Autismi sono recitativi d’autore alle prese con la crudeltà quotidiana dei nuovi lessici famigliari. Giacomo Sartori indaga con uno humour sferzante. Uno dopo l’altro i teatri e le messe in scena dell’esistenza spostando ogni volta più lontano la soglia della verità insostenibile.

Le parole care.

I gesti gentili. Perfino gli sguardi di chi veglia su un defunto parente suggeriscono stati mentali parossistici. E nello stesso tempo struggenti. Un’opera. Una galleria di ritratti storpiati da sentimenti non espressi. Quello della sorella. Quello della propria città. Profondissimo quello del suocero. In cui il lettore potrà riconoscere ora un antico dolore. Una leggera gioia. Ritmo incalzante del tempo.
Una voce unica. Quella di Giacomo Sartori. In grado di osservare senza alcun moralismo gli attimi che molti si ostinano a chiamare vita.

«Es un libro impresionante, y haberlo escrito, además de talento, demuestra un gran coraje.» Mario Vargas Llosa Si quiero entender a mi padre debo identificar nuestros puntos de intersección, iluminar las zonas oscuras, buscar el contraste, resolver los acertijos que con el tiempo fui abandonando. Si consigo entender quién fue él antes que yo naciera, quizá podré entender quién soy ahora que está muerto. Es en esas dos titánicas preguntas que se sostiene el enigma que me obsesiona: Quién era él antes de mí. Quién soy yo después de él. Ese es mi objetivo sumario: reunir a esos hombres intermedios. «Cisneros pone un orden novelesco en el desorden inherente a toda vida humana, mientras va en busca del tiempo perdido y del padre añorado».

Born on three adjacent beds, a mere three seconds apart. Also, our three heroes. Are united by nature but divided by nurture. Moulded by their different upbringings. They spend their lives chasing three very different desires. Money, power and love.

This is a human story. A tale about people like ourselves. Cajoled by the whimsy of circumstance. Who find themselves performing the most beautiful acts as well as the most vulgar.

This is a historical story. A tale set in the early 1800s. Which shines a light on how bankers. With the power to create money out of nothing. Were able to shape the world we live in today.

Finally, and this is a love story. A tale about three men, who fall in love with the same woman. At the very same time

La petite fille sur la banquise

Adelaïde Bon – (French Novelist)

«  J’ai neuf ans. Un dimanche de mai, je rentre seule de la fête de l’école, un monsieur me suit. Un jour blanc.
Après, la confusion.
Année après année, avancer dans la nuit.
Quand on n’a pas les mots, on se tait. On s’enferme. On s’éteint, alors les mots. Je les ai cherchés. Longtemps. Et de mots en mots, je me suis mise à écrire. Je suis partie du dimanche de mai et j’ai traversé mon passé. J’ai confronté les faits. Et phrase après phrase. J’ai épuisé la violence à force de la nommer. De la délimiter, de la donner à voir et à comprendre.
Page après page, je suis revenue à la vie.  »

A. B.

Quand ses parents la trouvent en pleurs. Mutique, Adélaïde ignore ce qui lui est arrivé. Ils l’emmènent au commissariat. Elle grandit sans rien laisser paraître. Adolescente puis jeune femme enjouée. Des années de souffrance, de solitude, de combat.
Vingt ans après. Elle reçoit un appel de la brigade des mineurs. Une enquêtrice a rouvert l’affaire dite de l’électricien, classée. L’ADN désigne un cambrioleur bien connu des services de police. On lui attribue 72 victimes mineures de 1983 à 2003. Plus les centaines de petites filles qui n’ont pas pu déposer plainte.
Au printemps 2016. Au Palais de justice de Paris, au côté de 18 autres femmes. Adélaïde affronte le violeur en série qui a détruit sa vie.

Avec une distance. Une maturité et une finesse d’écriture saisissantes. Adélaïde Bon retrace un parcours terrifiant, et pourtant trop commun. Une lecture cruciale.

New Novelist

Le dernier jour

Jean-Luc Outers – (Belgian Novelist)

“Dans la tradition des Tombeaux, en quelque sorte. Le dernier hommage que l’on peut rendre à ceux dont l’heure ultime nous sépare durablement”.

J.M.G. Le Clézio. Autant de manières de célébrer la vie à travers la mort. Autant de manières de vivre que de mourir. Jean-Luc Outers renoue donc avec la tradition du Tombeau. Tour à tour épitaphe. Oraison. Pure élégie ou déploration. Se fondant sur des écrits et des témoignages. Il donne pourtant le sentiment de raconter des histoires proches de la fiction. Dont les héros auront marqué sa vie. Parmi eux, on reconnaîtra les écrivains Henri Michaux. Dominique Rolin. Simon Leys. Hugo Claus.
